Connecting to the Future

Cape Jourimain Nature Centre Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving understanding of the human and natural history of the Cape Jourimain National Wildlife Area. Located at the foot of the Confederation Bridge connecting New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, the Nature Centre was designed to make as little environmental impact as possible while educating visitors about sustainable building practices.

Clivus worked with Engineering Technologies Canada consulting engineers of Stratford PEI and with Architects Four of Moncton NB to design composting toilet systems into the Visitor's Information Centre and the Interpretive Centre. The Visitor's Centre includes a gift shop and restaurant serving locally and organically grown foods. The Clivus systems in this portion of the Centre had to be designed to accommodate thousands of visitors traveling during the summer months between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The Interpretive Center includes both exhibits and staff offices.

Award Winner

Since its opening in 2001, the Centre has been recognized for its overall sustainable approach, having won both the National Award for Tourism Excellence and Parks Canada Sustainable Tourism Award. The sustainability systems within the Centre include a greywater treatment system, geothermal heat pumps, rainwater collection, solar hot water, and a wind turbine. But the Clivus compost toilets remain the most visible and most remarked technology.

Since 1973 Clivus Multrum has been the industry leader in composting toilets and greywater technologies. Composting toilets eliminate water from the waste stream and prevent the nutrients in human waste from becoming a source of pollution. Our waterless toilets and waterless urinals use no water at all. Our Foam-flush toilet is an ultra low flow toilet fixture that uses just six ounces of water per use. That’s a 97% water savings when compared with conventional 1.6 gallon per flush toilets. The M54 Trailhead is an ADA compliant pre fab or kit built stand alone restroom structure that comes in either a single stall or double stall with Clivus composting technology. The Trailhead is the natural solution for golf course and remote bathrooms. Clivus Multrum greywater systems (or graywater) recycle water from sinks, showers, dishwashers, and washing machines to irrigate plants. Many people consider composting toilets when looking for an alternative to conventional onsite waste treatment technologies. Satisfied Clivus customers include the National Park Service, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, the City of New York, Green Builders, Parcs Canada, and state and local parks throughout North America and beyond.
